HID Conversion Kit (Level of Difficulty)???

I bought an HID conversion kit, ballast, igniter bulb etc.

I already know about the canceler kit or resistor or XENON=PRESENT option (through the computer). That I understand.

My question is what is the level of difficulty for actually getting to those lights?

I had a car where I had to remove the air intake box, other cards I had to remove the trim/cover underneath the car to get to foglights etc.

I'm just curious what is involved with replacing the current standard halogens on the CLS? Is it easy? Or is it a pain in the A S S (i.e. remove headlight, or remove bumper, etc etc).

I'm not sure about the level of difficulty but if I install a conversion kit on my CLS, I'd probably put the ballast towards the bottom of the headlight enclosure. Thus removing the splash guard (under the bumper) to access the location.

Where did you get your HID conversion kit?

Thanks Gabe, I got them installed. Not hard at all. But I did end up paying a guy to do it.

Nice. By the way, where did you buy your HID kit?
